“BUYING A HOME IS MOST LIKELY THE LARGEST SINGLE PURCHASE ANYONE WILL MAKE. IT’S NOT SOMETHING YOU WALK INTO LIGHTLY.”
GET PRE-APPROVED “Shop around for the best mortgage rate and get pre- approved,” says Cunningham. “It saves you stress and time when you’re going to put an offer in.” It’s also appealing to the seller, especially if there are multiple offers on the table. Rather than waiting for a financing condition to be lifted, the seller knows you already have financing in place. How do you know you’re getting the best rate? Some people choose to go with a mortgage broker, who shops around for you, while others will visit a few lending institutions to compare what they have to offer.
CHOOSE WISELY Now for the fun part. With financing in place, you can start looking for a home that fits within your means. A realtor can help with the search, while a real estate lawyer will protect your interests as you close the deal. “Buying a home is most likely the largest single purchase anyone will make,” Cunningham says. “It’s not something you walk into lightly.” To learn more about the home-buying process and how to make it work financially, visit MoneySmartManitoba.ca .
